How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 70 ÷ 100 = 0.7
- Multiply: 0.7 × 83 = 58.1
- Check: Work backwards: 58.1 ÷ 83 × 100 = 70%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/100 = part/83, so part = 70 × 83 ÷ 100 = 58.1. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =70%*83. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
What the result means

Adding and taking away 70%
Increasing 83 by 70% gives 141.1 and decreasing it by 70% gives 24.9. These do not cancel out: raising 83 by 70% and then lowering the result by 70% ends at 42.33, because the second 70% is taken of a bigger number.
